ASHA's Social Networks—Get Connected!

Online social networks offer opportunities to connect with your colleagues and stay on top of the latest news from ASHA.

Whether you're interested in meeting other professionals who share your interests, collaborating on a specific professional issue, sharing photos or links, or just want to be among the first to know what's new at ASHA, online social networks provide some great ways to connect. And best of all, ASHA's social networks are free!

What is social networking?

People turn to online social networks to discover new information, develop and maintain relationships, and share content they create. When you join a social network, you will create a profile with a photo, your professional details, and any other personal information you choose to share. Then, how you use the social network is up to you. Some people use online social networks exclusively to connect with other CSD professionals, others prefer to connect only with friends and family, and some use social networks for a mix of personal and professional needs. Like The ASHA Leader or an e-mail newsletter, ASHA's social networks can provide you with the latest information, but they also offer the chance to interact with and learn from other professionals near and far.
